Why do we have to create a Telltale account to download it? I have no interest at all in creating one.

All I should have to do is download it and activate it with the code. No more, no less.

What's the big deal? It's not like they ask our address or credit card, you just need to register in order to receive the serials for the single episodes and redownload them every time you want from the TellTale website. That's how their system works, it would be a little egohistic to demand them to change their whole server backend just for MacHeist, don't you think?I really don't understand why people make a big deal about this, it's far more irritating when you have to register to some forum to read a topic.

I understand the equinux thing that asked for a street address, but this...

This is amazing. Hopefully, the sales of this bundle will help fuel a mac version of Sam & Max (^_-)

Playing this on a MacBook Pro with external monitor, and the mouse control is seriously irritating. After every drag to move in any direction, the mouse cursor is left at the bottom left of the monitor. Every. Single. Time.

Got tiring very quickly, I might have to get the PC version if this is a repeating problem!

Use the keyboard instead, you can use the WASD keys and maybe the arrow keys too (I'm not sure). The PC version is the same

Suppose it's just me. I just thought that for a game that costs $35 to buy, it would have all been downloaded to my computer, not held on a server. Sounds like it would have been better as a Web browser game.

I can't play it, because I forgot my telltale password. Tried ordering a new password, but all that does is give me a link to a page where I can choose a new password, if I can identify myself using my old password.I feel like I'm using windows here.

Same here, but I'm using a MacBook without the external monitor. Gave up on the demo because of this

Now you see one of the problems with this type of game!

This is a game you download to your Mac. You just need to create a telltale account to grab it. (I know it's a hassle, but it's not just meaningless hoops to jump through – they store your purchase/account on their site and you'll get access to your Windows versions downloads as well.)

Ok, I have changed my mind. But just to be certain. Are all the chapters downloaded at the same time? And can you confirm that if you choose not to share your high scores etc, that there will be no internet activity whist playing the game?

The mouse controls to walk are infuriating. Also, does the game start with all but one of the items on the Voodoo list being crossed off? I started episode one, and it seems as if it's skipped right to the end.

Guess I'll be swapping it with someone.

Or you can download the five installers onto your hard drive and keep them there for later use.Or you can order the DVD when it's ready for shipping which includes all the five episodes and bonuses.But yes, you can also give it to someone who'll be glad to play the game instead of worrying about the format it comes on.

No, that's the way it starts. It's just supposed to start after an adventure that you only get to hear about.

Also, use the keyboard. The mouse control is crap, nearly ruined my experience until I tried moving with WASD and realized it worked.

What? Scores? Are we talking about the same game? It's a graphic adventure!And no, the only time it should talk to the server is to log in at the beginning.

If you are paranoid you should also be able to block it and register it with the serial number instead. Or at least the Sam and Max games used to let you do that.

i have a telltale account, and the TOMI games show up on my account on the telltale website...

when trying to register (for full version) on any episode's splash screen, i get an "Unsuccessful" message (with CORRECT email address and password), and my 'serial' number doesnt work as an 'authentication code'.

help?

I suspect the load is actually hammering their servers, as the game should activate just by logging in not requiring you to type any serial number in it.

Have you tried typing the email address you used to register at telltale instead of the username? I'm pretty sure it won't help but trying wouldn't hurt.

It's probably best if you contact the support over at TellTale if it doesn't work, I have a gut feeling that it won't solve it by itself over time.

EDIT: To be sure, you tried copying and pasting the serial number for that episode (not the one that you used to redeem the gift when registering, the one that appears in the page to download the episodes) in the manual unlock tab and it didn't work right?

in order:i have tried both email address, AND username.i have tried 'that episode's serial number, from the telltale page (for 3 different episodes, to test if it was them or me)

the 'request key' thing on the game launches an email where you are supposed to paste your "serial number" and a 'request key' it gives you, and they are supposed to respond with your Different "activation key".

dont really know why the serial number doesnt activate the program, and you have to email in to get a DIFFERENT serial number (aka activation key).

I have emailed telltale support, but most likely wont hear back from them until tomorrow.

Ouch, that sucks. Sorry to hear about that.

No, that must be in cause your serial number is for some reason invalidated so support can authorize issuing a new serial number.

The normal registration procedure only requires either logging in or pasting the serial number.

OK, well I've taken the plunge. I hope all the downloads are worth it. I will post back on my experience with it.

And while you are at it, be sure to check out the game too!

Yes, unfortunately there's no way to "merge" them so the next one plays automatically. It would've been a neat feature

Now that's a PITA.

Just to clarify, it's not like the story abruptly ends and you have to quit, launch the next episode and continue.Every episode is self contained and the plot for each episode contains a start, a crescendo and a resolution so it doesn't feel like you are playing parts of a game that you have to start manually.

Excellent... been by the computer day and night and the moment I walk away Monkey Island is released - Hooray!!!

For those wondering, you dont have to be hooked to the internet to play the game, but there is an online feature for a side game of sorts. [How I got this icon - after having gone through the demo version]

p.s.Just bought Braid last night to entertain myself while waiting for M.I. [Fun game as well]

p.s.s.5 downloads surprised me at first, until I saw file size [not all of us have reliable blazing T-1 connections!]

Well, I've started the first chapter. Although I'm not getting very far, the mouse control seems to be working fine for me. It does seem to resize any open windows, so it's best to minimise them first before running the game.

I run it in window mode instead of fullscreen, and then you don't have to deal with the resizing (among other benefits).

Just also wanted to add that I haven't had any problems so far, it was really smooth to set up a username and download all the chapters. This is my first dealings with Telltale Games but so far I'm positively surprised, getting both the PC and Mac version as well as getting a "free" DVD if you'd like that... this is how companies should treat their customers!

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know it could be run in a window.

I did that and found my mouse control went haywire. I think I'll stay with full screen mode.
